Report: UConn Going To Big East For 2020-2021 Season

[brihman]

Gag order lifted?

The report is true - basketball is heading to Big East. Chief has been holding back on publicizing this news but here it is.

 

[Scrutineer]

This isn't April 1, so whoever released this either has great sources or a vivid imagination.

Their website looks legit, complete with correct MLB scores for today, so if someone is spoofing they went to a lot of trouble to provide cover.

How much does each Big East team get per year from their media deal? Is it up for renewal so UConn's presence might make it more valuable? Would it be better than the new AAC deal? I thought not.

If we can't stay in the AAC for football where do we go? What does RE2 tell recruits this weekend?

 

[Chief00]

He could be sourced on the Big East side, which is why no CT guys have it. But there is nothing of substance in that report whatsoever. Weird timing too, did he meet someone at the bar or something?

You are wrong, it’s true.

 

[husky8273]

You are wrong, it’s true.

Chief, where will football land?

 

[Caronimo]

Chief wouldn’t make something up. He has a reputation to withhold. Don’t disrespect him.

 

[AntG168]

This is......weird

 

[Banta55]

You are wrong, it’s true.

I didn't think it could happen so quick..Football go independent?

 

[krinklecut]

You are wrong, it’s true.

Chief I don't think I've ever seen you be so adamant about something and not ride the fence. If this is true I take back everything negative I've said about you.

 

[ASweet3781]

You are wrong, it’s true.

Wouldn't surprise me. It's the kind of short sighted and disastrous decision that I would expect coming from our leaders.

 

[3rdbass]

Chief, where will football land?

I would guess FCS.

 

[KOFanClub]

You are wrong, it’s true.

Wrong about what? I didn't say it was true or untrue. I made points about the nature of the report. And the only thing he cites are unnamed sources, doesn't even indicate their positioning in the side of things. Objectively, there is nothing that makes it substantive as opposed to speculative.

Get over yourself dude. "I was holding back". Yeah, alright.

 

[Caronimo]

I would guess FCS.

Stop

 

[krinklecut]

Wouldn't surprise me. It's the kind of short sighted and disastrous decision that I would expect coming from our leaders.

nothing anyone does is ever right.

how many collective years does the yard have running athletic programs at D1 schools? How about presiding over them? Just curious.

I really think the new AAC contract upset Uconn

If this story was a hoax or click bait why would they post this on a Friday night? Wouldn’t you do this on a Monday morning?

Get someone feeling themselves at the bar is my guess

A couple of posters have mysteriously alluded to this over the last couple weeks as well. It’s a strange string of coincidences if they are such.

Yeah, this could very easily be the "good news" from that thread

It weird.

Possible someone at UConn slipped up at the travelers?

 

[smoothcriminal]

A lot of clues stating to add up particularly from the football side. The transfers a couple of weeks ago were odd.

 

[krinklecut]

It weird.

I love this theory

 

[AntG168]

Yeah, this could very easily be the "good news" from that thread

Or the thread in the conference realignment thread from June 12 saying this exact news was told to him from a providence source. I’m mean down to the 2021 time frame

Chief is going to claim he knows the winning lottery numbers two days after the numbers are announced next.

Chief is claiming this now before it’s been verified tho. That’s outside of his normal MO lol

Thank you for confirming this!

So stoked right now. Our basketball brand just went up a few notches.
